Star Trek: The Original Watching
CBS has all of the original series available online, so I've been running episodes while I clean my office or do laundry or whatever. Not entirely sure why; I have to admit that my opinion of the show hasn't changed much. There are the occasional moments I enjoy, but there's also hella clunky writing, cheap sets, overacting, and a general lack of the things I love (like arc plots and long-term character development).
It's interesting to look at it with historical perspective, though. The technology: I presume they did their best to be futuristic, but now it's this weird mash of incredibly dated limitations (tapes???) and still-implausible handwavium (tricorders). The plots, reflecting the concerns and ideals of the time. But what really gets me, as you might expect, are the characters.
I think I have an easier time coping with the show's racial shortcomings because it's easier for me to recognize the ways in which it was progressive for the time. I mean, two non-white bridge officers? Sure, Uhura does almost nothing of note (at least as far as I've watched), but as Whoopie Goldberg said to her mother, there's a black woman on television, and she ain't no maid. And there's the occasional black or Asian background character, too. I still cringe at things like, oh, the casting of a Mexican actor as a northern Indian Sikh, but I can usually manage to get past it, by focusing on the ways in which this was an improvement over the mass of media at the time.
With gender, it's harder. Maybe I just don't know enough about female roles elsewhere on TV at the time? Because it sticks in my craw that the women are mostly just sex objects, and on the rare occasion that one of them has a relevant professional role (the psychologist in "Dagger of the Mind," the historian in "Space Seed") their narrative function is to be incompetent and screw everything up. The men constantly reduce them to their attractiveness and/or treat them like children, and the women respond accordingly. I damn near cheered when I watched "Amok Time" (I'm at the beginning of S2 now), because while Vulcan marital tradition blatantly reduces women to prizes for the men, T'Pring quite cleverly manipulates that tradition to achieve her own ends. Go go gadget agency! And you get T'Pau, who's respected, powerful, and able to help the protagonists — because she chooses to, not because she has to. Vulcans: 2, Humans: 0, where non-objectified women are concerned.
(Incidentally, having watched "Amok Time" — I don't know when exactly K/S came into existence, i.e. whether it existed before that ep . . . but ye gods is that thing slashy. Much is now explained.)
The fact that I've watched so much is really more a testament to my obsessive sense of completism (and the ease of online watching) than any growing affection; there's maybe two or three eps so far I'd have any desire to watch a second time. I really wish some of the other series were available online, so I could give them a shot, but sadly this does not seem to be the case.

There was an (in)famous TV Guide episode summary for "Amok Time" — "Spock succumbs to a powerful mating urge and almost kills Captain Kirk."
I don't think it's possible to describe the episode without leaking innuendo everywhere.

Women who are Vulcanoid get agency and dignity. That's… about it. Star Trek is my first fandom, and I love it dearly, even though it was more utopian in concept than execution.
Then I will root for more Vulcan women in the story.
To be fair, the ep after "Amok Time" features Uhura stunt-rigging the comm system to get it working again, which is a nice bit of competence, and also the archaeologist lady reasserts herself as a professional, instead of totally throwing her lot in with Apollo.
. . . but that latter case is undermined by the fact that she (of course) fell madly in love with Apollo five seconds after meeting him, and the bit where the officers basically say she's only in Starfleet to get her M.R.S., and the bit where Apollo asks her name and then upon being told it's Lieutenant Whatever, asks what her real name is.
Because, y'know, a woman's only real name is her given name.
<headdesk>
Well, that was poor Apollo, whose brethren (and sistren?) had abandoned him and whose 'children' no longer worshipped him. He was a little out of touch with modern humanity of even the sixties. 😉
. . . nope, still can't feel any sympathy for him.

which is very fannish and probably biased but might still be interesting/informative. They come and go but there do seem to have been a fair number of female doctors, scientists, and engineers, not to mention Star Fleet officers (up to lieutentant in rank, plus Number One and a department head.) *Women in the military* isn't entirely uncontroversial now.
T'Pau is the only person who ever REFUSED a seat on the Federation Council.
To be offered a seat on the high council of the entire United Federation Of Planets is obviously a huge honor, but to be someone who has better things to do is… well, we're not really sure what that means, but in any case Kirk seems to be very impressed.
she gets Kirk excused from what could have been a court martial offence with one quick call to Starfleet Command
I haven't seen the episode; novels had her as the planetary governor of Vulcan.
Vulcanoid: yeah, the Romulan Commander from the Enterprise incident. A captain and (small) fleet commander.
Also http://www.sherylfranklin.com/trekwomen.html
You know, you're right. I've been slowly re-watching the original, and it's been so long since first watching that I've let fannish opinion erode my memory. Just because we get Elaan of Troyius or Marlena MacGivers doesn't deny us Areel Shaw or the Romulan Commander, just as Janice Lester is countered by Ann Mulhall.
(Did you know Diana Muldaur, who played Dr. Ann Mulhall and Dr. Miranda Jones, went on to play Dr. Pulaski in NextGen? How's that for neat?)
Thanks for the reminder and the links – there are women here I'd forgotten completely.
About all I can say for the women I've seen so far is that they're present: sure, I'll give the show a tiny number of points for having female servicemembers in Starfleet. Unfortunately, most of the execution has been one step forward, three steps back.
On the other hand, I haven't yet encountered the positive characters

Try watching Get Smart. Good Lord. The gender-roles make the thing damned near incomprehensible in spots. We talk it through with stuff like, "Is that supposed to be funny because…something about her being a girl? But what?" And, "Why is she mad? Is it something about her being a girl again? What?"
I suspect that trying to watch Get Smart would result in me killing something, so I'd better stay away.
The recent movie was moderately enjoyable, though.

It was excruciating enough as a woman living through those times… Thank goodness it now seems almost incomprehensible to later generations!
It really is incomprehensible to me — and I'm glad of that.
gerriwritinglog
By the time ST:TNG rolls around, it's the late 80's, so gender roles are VASTLY different than before.
Just remember that as cringeworthy as the gender and racial portrayals are in retrospect, at the time, they were groundbreaking. A black woman in a command position was UNHEARD of, as both a race and a gender issue.
It just frustrates me that the show so rarely goes past the point of "look! There are women here!" to do anything more impressive with them.
At the time, though, that _was_ impressive. It was as risky in its time as Ellen coming out or having openly gay characters star in a tv show. People complain about _Will and Grace_ because of the depiction of Will's sexuality, but I see a lot of analogies between W&G and ST:TOS in terms of what they're willing to do.
Like I said: I think the biggest problem is that I have a hard time really perceiving the ways in which the female characters were progressive. (I can see it more easily on the racial axis.)
I'm no expert in mid-century TV, or even an amateur, but I've seen claims that things like "Bewitched" or "I Love Lucy" were relatively "progressive" for things like Lucy subverting the submissive role in her marriage. She was Wife, but getting a word in. This is less agency than you'd find in Austen or Shakespeare… I forget what the claim for Bewitched was. Soap operas had bumbling husbands, though this was less about being progressive and more about housewives being the audience and (literally, for the advertisers) market.
That's the milieu AIUI; Rosie the Riveter had been sent home from the factory and her daughter was expected to love the modern wonders of linoleum and stainless steel cookware, and welcome her breadwinner home to soap-scrubbed suburbia with a smile. In 1965 (Griswold vs. Connecticut) *married* women got the US-wide right to contraception; unmarried women got that in 1972 (Eisenstadt vs. Baird), 3 years before I was born. The pill was legalized in Canada in 1969. Contraception was legalized in France in December 1967. Abortion was illegal in all but 3 states, and possibly those as well. No-fault divorce debuted, in California, in 1969. Marital rape was legal until South Dakota started a slow movement to criminalize it — in 1975; by 1987 eight states had made it a crime, not including Texas.
It's against this that in 1966 you have a (black) woman on the bridge, and a parade of doctors and yeomen and lieutenants. NOW and "women's liberation" (in print) start in 1966 as well; The Feminine Mystique in 1963.

The San Francisco Fire Department didn't hire a woman until 1987. San Francisco.
I'm not old, but in my lifetime things have changed enormously. In fact, it's kind of depressing: when I was a girl in the 1970s, I honestly thought I could do anything–and in a sense, I was wrong. For instance, I couldn't enter the military academies until the late 1970s. The US didn't get a woman into space until 1982 or so (whereas the Russians did it in the early 60s). And if I'd known about the Mercury 13, I think my heart would have broken. I'm so glad I didn't know all this then.
lowellboyslash
I'm going to be Mr. Unpopular for saying this, but the new movie pissed me off even more. I mean, we should know better by now, and the only three ladies in the movie were the mother, the whore, and the virgin (excuse me, I mean the Mom Who Dies Tragically, Some Green Chick, and Main Character's Love Interest Who Walks Around in Skimpy Crap Constantly).
Though Uhura is the last only if you see Spock as the main character.
I liked the defenses. "They needed to draw together the original cast." "Chekov wasn't even in the first season and they lampshaded that he's *17* in the movie." "la la la".
Though in agency Spock was probably Uhura's love interest, and she did get that Clue. Actually some of the entries in my url were along that line: female character who probably didn't get many lines but figured out a key fact like "that's not Kirk".
Allegedly the first interracial kiss was meant to be Spock/Uhura, but Shatner demanded it.
I don't think there's any plausible way to interpret the Spock-and-Uhura relationship that doesn't involve Uhura deciding what she wants, then going out and getting it. Between the social disparity and Vulcan behavior, no way in hell did Spock initiate that romance. So she isn't the object; she's the active agent.
Having said that, Uhura was (for me) the biggest weak spot in the movie. I can understand why the strictures of a reboot meant they didn't add in an entirely new female character, and neither Nurse Chapel nor Yeoman Rand is exactly great material to work with — but I don't see any good reason why Uhura couldn't have had a more central role in the plot.

Women, and slash
The treatment of women in Original Trek was… as conflicted as female roles were in the late 60s overall. Women were capable of being professionals — scientists, archaeologists, military officers — but they wore dresses or the mini-skirted uniforms, and their plot significance was 90% sex object, 10% professional. (Except Uhura, who was maybe not the only professional-role woman on TV, but one of few. Of any color.) Mini-skirts themselves were one or two seasons away from having been daring, ground-breaking fashion, in that women could choose to show legs if they wanted. In the end, it wasn't a good option for most purposes — but it remained an option, not a taboo, ever after. That was *new* in 1966. And while showing ostensibly non-human women, but not humans, as capable leaders is a standard cop-out now, it was also a coded agreement with the feminist movement that was still, then, struggling for recognition.
It wasn't a shining liberation, exactly — Uhura and other (human) women never got to be captains, and the women *were* nearly all young-and-pretty even when they had brains. Where were the women, other than T'Pau, over 35? But this is still a notable problem today.
And maybe Amok Time wasn't the only episode that put the concept of K/S into fans' minds, since Kirk and Spock breaking out of jail bloody and bare-chested, engaging in mind-melds, and various mutual rescues in other episodes, were major factors as well. However, it gave slash a Plot and in inventing Vulcan biology, an urgent motivation.
Re: Women, and slash
Yeah, I almost snarked above that women with agency and minds of their own are clearly alien creatures. 🙂 But it was interesting, the contrast between the human and Vulcan cultures: the humans ostensibly treat women as equals (but demean them in practice), whereas the Vulcans demean them with their marriage traditions (but they end up with more agency in practice). Mind you, that's based on a tiny sample of evidence. It's the image I ended up with, though.
You're right about the slash-potential of other episodes, but I feel more like those are situations you can read slash into, after your mind's already in that mode. "Amok Time" is the first one I've seen where the slash writes itself, then jumps up and down to get your attention. <g> I mean, emotional Vulcans? Empathic bonds? Overwhelming mating urges? Kirk and Spock rolling around in the dirt? Theodore Sturgeon had a dirty mind, man . . .
Re Theodore Sturgeon: If all men were Vulcans, would you let one marry your captain? Not that slash didn't explore the question pretty throughly, and I don't *think* Sturgeon was hooked into slash fandom at any point.
My first url mentions that Yeoman Smith wore pants. No idea about the rest of them…
The pilot's Number One in 1964 was a female second-in-command, but she got axed by studio sexism and/or distaste for Roddenberry casting his lover.
http://greyfalcon.us/restored/Star%20Trek.htm
is an interesting essay on gender/race/militarism in TOS. Uhura vs. Yeoman Rand…
The Yoeman Smith link is especially interesting in that there seems to be *another* woman wearing a trouser uniform in the background. It looks like the trouser uniform was meant to be seen as an option for women, which is a good point. But, just coincidentally, most of the Starfleet women on screen wore the miniskirt. Come to think of it, Number One wore the trouser uniform too, if I'm remembering correctly, and it seemed right for her. It's like the show had to be simultaneously Swinging 60s, and also egalitarian future, and the 60s, ground-breaking as they were, just weren't *there* yet.
querldox
Fair warning; when you get to the final episode, Turnabout Intruder, you probably don't want any objects in arm's reach that'd damage the screen when you throw them at it.
Let's try putting the context of the times in another way; The Mary Tyler Moore show premiered a year after the last episode of TOS in September 1970. It was the first tv show, at least that reached any level of popularity, that had a never married career woman as its main character.

MIDEAST: Gaza Reemerging From the Ashes
Mirela Xanthaki
UNITED NATIONS, Feb 3 2009 (IPS) - The United Nations is urgently appealing for 613 million dollars to aid more than a million desperate civilians in the ruins of Gaza, where schools, hospitals, houses, factories and even farmland were obliterated during the three-week assault by Israeli air and ground forces.

Over 1,300 Palestinians were killed and more than 5,300 injured in the war, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Some 21,000 homes were reported destroyed or badly damaged, and more than 50,000 people were displaced into temporary U.N. shelters.
"Whole industrial areas [were] completely flattened, buildings blasted into piles of rubble," Christine van Nieuwenhuyse, the World Food Programme's (WFP) country director for the occupied Palestinian territories, reported after her recent trip to Gaza.
"While there were some areas left totally untouched, it was precisely the strategic economic areas that Gaza depends on to relieve its dependency on aid that were wiped out," she wrote.
John Holmes, the U.N.'s emergency relief coordinator, noted that the funding appeal is for a nine-month period only, to cover immediate emergency aid and essential repairs. "Longer-term reconstruction is a separate issue which will be addressed separately," he added.
In fact, the total cost to rebuild Gaza is estimated at about 2 billion dollars. Saudi Arabia has already said it would donate 1 billion dollars, with the rest to be raised at a donors' conference hosted by Egypt on Mar. 2.

The largest sums of the U.N. emergency appeal will go to food security (153 million), shelter items and non-food items (119 million) and cash assistance programmes (92 million).
Thirty million dollars would be spent on rehabilitating agricultural production. Daly Belgasmi, the WFP's regional director for the Middle East, Central Asia and Eastern Europe, stressed at a press conference here that "the goal is not to create a society of assisted people, but rather people that are responsible for themselves". Engaging farmers is one important way to do this, he added.
Holmes identified three factors as critical to the success of the relief effort. "The first most obvious one is that the current unilateral fragile ceasefires be stabilised and made into a durable ceasefire so that we have a reasonably peaceful environment in which to operate," he said.
"The second, and this is crucial also, is much freer access for humanitarian goods, commercial goods, humanitarian staff, people in general, and also last but not least, cash as the economy cannot function without cash."
The third requirement is to be able to conduct relief operations free from political interference, he said.
The operation needs the cooperation of Israeli authorities, since they control the crossing points, while the Palestinian National Authority still pays many of the civil servants in Gaza and must be closely involved as well.
Where aid workers need to deal with Hamas at the technical level, they will have no hesitation in doing so, Holmes added.
The complex relief effort on the ground is being carried out by more than a hundred non-governmental organisations and dozens of U.N. agencies and programmes.
"The EU, NGOs, EC, World Bank and other partners are members of the early recovery cluster and work in a coordinated and systematic manner to support the Palestinians in the aspiration to recover livelihoods, address post-war trauma, restore basic social services and utilities, provide shelter, restore productive assets and capacities, etc.", Jens Toyberg-Frandzen of the U.N. Development Programme told IPS.
He said that the reconstruction process includes an initial humanitarian relief phase, early recovery phase and post-conflict recovery phase.
"The early recovery or transitional reconstruction phase should take place immediately after the upcoming donor conference in Cairo and will gather momentum, proportionally to the amount and speed of disbursement of resources by donors towards the early recovery and reconstruction priorities," he said.
Meanwhile, the situation remains dire. Food shortages, soaring prices, no cooking gas or fuel and restricted access to land for agriculture are making everyday life in Gaza very difficult. "People have to wait in line for six hours for bread," Belgasmi said.
The WFP is has already distributed two months worth of rations to more than 186,000 Palestinians, although the potential number of needy could be as high as 365,000.
So far, the flash appeal has raised about 80 million dollars – 13 percent of what is needed. Countries have also given more than 100 million dollars of other contributions in kind or cash.

Q: Define session variable in c# get it from javascript I'm saving string that represents the URL in a session variable from my code behind like this:
        String mois = Request.QueryString["mois"].ToString();
        String m = mois;

        String moisnom = Request.QueryString["moisnom"].ToString();
        String annee = Request.QueryString["annee"].ToString();
        String dt = Request.QueryString["date"].ToString();
        String user = Request.QueryString["user"].ToString();
        String where = "jour.aspx?mois=" + mois + "&moisnom=" + moisnom + "&annee=" + annee + "&date=" + dt + "&user=" + user + "&cp=all" + "&usl=" + Request.QueryString["usl"].ToString();
        Session["togo"] = where;

And then I try to get it like this in JavaScript like this:
    var togo = '<%=Session["togo"]%>';
    //  i also tried this var togo ='@Session["togo"]';
    var newPage = togo; // this should contain a string with the url to go to

But when I use it it uses it as a string here is what my URL looks like:
http://localhost:50311/<%=Session["togo"]%>
 or
http://localhost:50311/@Session["togo"]

How else can I access the session variable or what am I doing wrong please?
 EDIT:
like you suggested i already tried using the hidden field like this

     yes  i tried that but then i had this problem here is the definition of the hidden field

             <input type="hidden" value="aa" id="myHiddenVar" runat="server"/>

then i tried giving it the value i need on click
            String where = "jour.aspx?mois=" + mois + "&moisnom=" + moisnom + "&annee=" + annee + "&date=" + dt + "&user=" + user + "&cp=all" + "&usl=" + Request.QueryString["usl"].ToString();
        myHiddenVar.Value= where;

and this is how i tried getting it from the js file
       var togo = $('#myHiddenVar').val();
       var newPage = togo;

but it takes the default value meaning "aa" as in value="aa" i gues cause the script is  executed  before the assignment of the variable any way how to reverse that order ?

A: After Session["togo"] = where;
save this Session["togo"] in hidden variable
hiddenVariable= Session["togo"];
Now in JS access that hiddenvariable:
suppose ID of hiddenvariable is "hdnxyz"
var togo = $('#hdnxyz').val();
var newPage = togo;

A: first of all session resides on server!!!!!!
If it is in different js file than you cant access it <%xyz%> i.e scriplet tags only work on aspx page...
so there is no way to access the session variable on client side..
instead assign your sessio9n value to a hidden variable and then access it using javascript

A: Write Session element in a asp:HiddenField and then read from it with your js code.

County Elections Administrator Favors All Mail General Election
After the successful mail in primary election in June, Missoula County Elections Administrator Bradley Seaman said Governor Steve Bullock's order to give counties the option of either a mail in or polling place election provides a choice for each county.
"I really liked the governor's directive because it does not mandate the whole state," said Seaman. "It lets counties decide what is best for them because it is a lot different for our services here in Missoula county than small eastern Montana counties with a fraction of the number of voters from us. So I do appreciate the fact that it gave each individual county the option."
Seaman said there were problems during the primary that the county won't have for the all mail general election.
"We have a clear path moving forward now," he said. "We can let voters know what the issues are and how we will proceed. We had confusion from voters about after hours ballot drop boxes, but because this will be an all mail election they are prohibited and we must be a manned place of deposit with two election judges."
Seaman responded to a question about the issue that all mail elections are more susceptible to fraud.
"We have a lot of safeguards in place in the state of Montana," he said. "In Missoula County we work hard from our ballot stock to our signature verification processes to our voter database, which ensures that voters can't have two ballots active and our processes for notifying the voter if they've forgotten to sign, the signature doesn't match what's on file."
Seaman provided the date on which ballots will be mailed to voters throughout the state.
"The mail date for this election is going to be October ninth," she said. "The nice thing about the all mail election is that is in a few days after October 9, if you haven't seen your ballot, you can check the My Voter page dot com. It'll tell you if you got a ballot and where your ballot was sent. Plus, you can be very proactive and make sure that you voted well ahead of time and not waiting until Election Day."
Missoula County has chosen to have a mail-in only general election in November.

Just as my family tree in the San Gabriel Valley has changed over the generations, the various native plant communities within the same area have also been compromised. None more apparent than Southern Oak Woodland. This community includes principal trees such as the Engelmann Oak (Quercus engelmannii), Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia), Black Walnut (Juglans californica). Of those three, the Engelmann Oak has suffered the greatest impact, but it has the treasured opportunity to be recognized for its beauty and unique distinction to San Gabriel Valley.
Once found throughout the San Gabriel Valley, the Engelmann Oak has most recently suffered greatly from insect and fungal pathogen damage, followed by poor cultural practices like overwatering. Urbanization and stress caused by drought and fires have also posed a greater threat to these legacy trees. The population has also been afflicted by a lack of availability in the trade until now. I was so inspired by seeing beautiful Engelmann Oaks at The Huntington Botanical Garden, Los Angeles County Arboretum, and this year's Theodore Payne Annual Native Plant Tour, that I wanted to learn even more about its roots within the Southern Oak Woodland native plant community.
On the right: A young Engelmann Oak at the Huntington Library Botanical Garden.
For some unknown reason, my family and I have always enjoyed learning about our ancestors. Maybe it's because we are all scientifically and oddly inquisitive – a family of nerds right at home in the land of JPL, CalTech and SpaceX. And we are all also surprisingly of sturdy stock like an oak tree.
My late grandfather respected the oak so much that he asked that the California Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) be etched onto his tombstone. He also planted a White Oak (Quercus robur) close to his home. Exploring the genealogy of the Genus – Quercus and its relationships has helped me learn more about my own roots within Southern California.
Sadly, you can't just go to Ancestors.com for answers about the roots of an actual tree. You need to go to a library of natural history. So off I went on a Saturday to the Los Angeles Arboretum. I culled the stacks and found a manuscript written by Bruce M. Pavlik titled, A Natural History of Southern California Oaks, with Emphasis on Those Occurring within the District. After reading it, I hiked around the park for further inspiration about the Southern Oak Woodland native plant community.
Published in 1976, Pavlik's manuscript shared many of the same concerns about the California native oaks within the Los Angeles district that are threatened today. Most significantly, he called for the protection of Engelmannn Oaks in response to the rapid urbanization of the San Gabriel Valley in the 1970s. Prior to development, Engelmann Oaks were only threatened by horse and cattle grazing, which destroyed any opportunity for seedlings to flourish into trees around the valley floor. The young trees survived only along the ridge lines, because it was too dangerous for cattle and horses to graze upon their foliage.
Within its family tree/taxonomy, the Genus amongst California native oaks resides in the order of Fagales, consisting of the families Betulaceae and Fagaceae. Birch (Betula), Alders (Alnus), and Hazelnut (Corylus) reside in the family of Betulaceae, and they are the closest of relatives of California native oaks. Within the family Fagaceae are the Genus of oaks and their relatives, such as Chrysolepis, Quercus, and Lithocarpus.
The mid-sized, evergreen Engelmann Oak has the distinct characteristics of a California Live Oak, yet, instead of green leaves that are slightly serrated, it has vibrant blue-grayish-green leaves that are rather long in length and relatively unserrated edges. The tree's acorns have a slightly hairy underside on the cap. The acorns of this particular tree were harvested last by the native peoples for food, as acorns from other species like the Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) and Coastal Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) tasted better or offered more nutrients. Unfortunately for the Engelmann Oak, it was most preferred by the locals as firewood, as its wood seemed to burn the longest of all local hardwood trees.
An Engelmann Oak finds a few admirers during the 2017 Theodore Payne Native Plant Tour.
These impressive trees are rarely found north of Pasadena, and only along the northern side of a foothill, generally in thick stands within shallow soil supporting aromatic plants White Sage (Salvia apiana), California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), and California Sagebrush (Artemisia californica). Along the valley floors and around mesas, Engelmann Oaks were surrounded by California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica) and Purple Needle Grass (Stipa pulchra) growing around the base of these majestic trees. I bet this was a very beautiful sight my ancestors enjoyed living in San Marino, Sierra Madre, and Monrovia prior to the mid-1850s. Engelmann Oaks were once spotted along a 50 mile wide beltway from Pasadena, all the way to Mexico, always at least 15 to 20 feet from the nearest coastline.
The Engelmann Oak shares the growth rate of the Coastal Live Oak, growing about 8' in 5 years. Of all the oaks, the Valley Oak grows the fastest at 15' in 5 years. Lucky for us, the Engelmann Oak is now available to purchase from a local tree nursery, and it can still be found around growing within neighborhoods of Duarte, Pasadena, Azusa, and Glendora. The Los Angeles Arboretum and the Huntington Botanical Garden have a few that you can see, touch, study, and enjoy. I really found walking through the tree's dense pillow of foliage debris lining the way toward a bench underneath the massive tree at the LA Arboretum unlike anything I have ever done in Los Angeles.
Two Engelmann Oaks discovered in Pasadena using Google Earth.
I went onto Google Earth to continue searching for more EEngelmann Oaks within the area, looking out for a particular hue that helps identify the trees from others. The Engelmann Oaks are fairly easy to spot based upon their color of foliage depicted on Google Earth. It was like finding members of your family tree that you did not know existed. The activity made me want to look for even more Engelmann Oaks and determine how to enable further protection of them or build more colonies of these special trees unique to San Gabriel Valley.
Engelmann Oaks can help make the San Gabriel Valley a better and more beautiful community, while strengthening the native plant community of the Southern Oak Woodland. So hopefully everything I've shared above will compel others to appreciate and plant some of these wondrous native oaks.

How long ago did trees of significant size cease to be identified and used as wayfinding elements? I still harbor romanticized memories of large specimen trees holding court in the center of small towns, or trees of substantial size guarding the entry of a home's long dirt driveway back in the "olden days." Besides the scarcity of space for trees of significant size and age in most urban centers today, I have to wonder how many people could actually even identify a Jacaranda or Coral tree, especially when it was not flowering?
This very question arose last week while attending, "Movement Matters: Wayfinding: what, how, where and why?", a seminar sponsored by Steer Davie Gleave. Seminar presenters, Evan Weinberg, Policy and Advocacy Manager, Toronto Financial District BIA and James Brown, Principal Consultant, Steer Davies Gleave led what turned out to be an interesting discussion about the importance of wayfinding elements in our cities – from economic benefits, to the physical interaction with one's city.
I especially enjoyed the Legible London project that they described, a project envisioned with the goal to give people the "confidence to get lost." The very legible wayfinding signs stationed right outside all the Tube Station stops in London proved extremely helpful during a recent trip, a firsthand account of the benefits of wayfinding elements in a city.
On a related note, I still distinctly remember preparing for my first – and sadly only – visit to Venice, Italy. Travel advice I read soothed concerns about getting lost as a visitor, since it was a small island; my fears were allayed by promises that any small alley would eventually reveal signs to guide visitors back to open identifiable sections of the city. Venice proved a great locale to safely give into this "confidence to get lost" – to go without a map, wander, and simply explore.
Do you remember the story in the New York Times about Jean J. Hsu, a woman who lost her class ring down a grate? It was a rather funny tale, one documenting how Ms. Hsu navigated New York City's labyrinth of red tape to retrieve her lost jewelry from the bowels of a busy downtown corridor.
While walking through DTLA or through the beautiful City of Glendora downtown corridor, I've noticed all sorts of different types of tree grates. It has a role as one of today's favorite urban landscape features, but times are a changing. There are all sorts of stories that you can muster up about why or why not a tree grate was removed: it was stolen, the tree outgrew the space, the storefront had it removed.
Who needs a tree when extra asphalt is on hand to fill a previous tree well? Photo by Kathy Rudnyk.
I've noticed some sidewalks interrupted by empty square cutouts filled with compacted soil or asphalt, like the one pictured here on the right. I sometimes like to imagine buried treasure awaiting to be found underneath. But more so, I'd prefer such an empty space being occupied again with a thriving tree, one that could offer ample shade from the glaring glass curtain walls along 7th Street, provide a respite for urban birds, or offer a great spot for tourists to take a photo.
The City of Glendora's downtown corridor – Glendora Avenue – is lined with meticulously clipped Ficus microcarpa nitida, 'Green Gem' (Green Gem Indian Laurel Fig) pruned into the shape of gumdrops. These trees were made famous by a commercial for Southern California's fast food chain, Jack in the Box.
Most of the tree grates on this stretch of Glendora Avenue have been since removed, with only two tree grates remaining. The two trees surrounded by tree grates are much smaller in size than the rest of sculptured trees. Some creative tactics were taken by shopkeepers to keep the area tidy and to prevent dogs from doing their business along the double row of trunks. Now poinsettias line the boxes (just in time for the holidays!).
America is not alone in its fetish for tree grates. In Spain, I fell into a few missing tree grates spaces while admiring the beautiful architecture of the country. Let me tell you, those empty spaces once occupied by a tree grate were rather deep; their planting specs must call for a much deeper tree well than the American version!

* Is the lack of tree care, alongside their respective tree grates, just another form of "demolition by neglect"? Perhaps, the tree grate is a much more of beautiful ornament than the tree it was originally intended for – something I have seen in NYC with their treasured and historical art deco tree grates. Maybe the expense went into buying the best of the best tree grates, but a low bid or a slashed budget made getting the best tree impossible.
* Maybe the tree and its protective tree grate are considered an annoyance now? Maybe for some people a tree might be considered a hindrance, limiting access from car to building or onto a train platform.
* Why not utilize plants around a tree rather than selecting an expensive tree grate. At a cost of approximately $2,000 a piece, these grates were designed to protect the tree's apron of roots. But when you walk through a forest, you might observe small shrubs or perennials naturally growing around trees in the wild. Why not recreate the same natural relationship in an urban setting? It would enhance the urban landscape and provide even more natural curiosity.
* Does every city street need to look like a New York City sidewalk?
But there are some really good reasons for tree grates. First, in urban areas with a high density of people who park close to trees or walk by one, these grates keep the surrounding soil around the tree from being compacted. Besides lack of water, pests/disease, or pruning at the wrong times, compacted soil is a major reason why trees suffer in urban settings. Tree grates also shade the soil over the tree's roots, slowing down the evaporation of the water around the tree. And in a drought like we're experiencing now, that is a definite benefit.
Tree grates can be rather appealing aesthetically . Their ornate traditional designs are quite adaptable, coming in all sorts of shapes. Some even have lights built right into the design. Most are fabricated with metal, but maybe in the future tree grates will be printed using a 3-D printer and laser cutters, using other types of materials to add to curb appeal. What if grates were made from silicone, plastic, recycled tires, and other renewable resources like bamboo or cork? Or maybe they could light up when stepped upon. One wonders due to the fact tree grates have so long gone unchanged, their utility for tree and shrub health is now forgotten or overlooked. Perhaps tree grates need a Project Runway-style redesign representing the times of today. Or maybe it's just time to say farewell, noting they're a feature of yesterday?

Cities are already challenging themselves to use alternatives, including artificial grass, art, and pavers instead of tree grates. If you lose a piece of fine jewelry – like Jean J. Hsu's class ring from the aforementioned story above – recovering it will be much easier when mulch, ground cover, shrubs, or artificial turf surrounds the tree. Even in Manhattan, the city now shuns using tree grates, replacing them with more advantageous methods of protecting valuable urban trees.
Well-designed tree grates permit water, air, debris, and the occasional unfortunate class ring through its grill. But the space between the tree grate and the soil should be periodically cleaned; if an excess of debris gets trapped between these sections, it can prevent air and water from entering the basin or result in soil building up around the trunk, both causing undue harm to the tree.

Most of the time when tree grates are installed, they'll never be moved again. But occasionally a tree grow will outgrow its once spacious ring, requiring it be removed or entirely replaced. Tree roots will grows upward if there is insufficient room for it to grow outward. Everyone in Los Angeles has seen a sidewalk like this at one time or another. Unless there is an effective root barrier in place or regular root pruning, trees without enough space to grow can push a sidewalk upward, causing a hazardous feature. Occasionally the affected sidewalk area is cut out and expanded, with the tree grate removed to expose the surrounding soil to promote the tree's health.
Professor of Environmental Horticulture Dr. Edward F. Gilman of University of Florida, Gainesville offers some excellent advice: Tree grates should be considered a short term solution lasting about 15 years. Dr. Gilman advises widening sidewalk spaces around trees, planting clusters of trees, channeling roots to grow toward soil, using alternative material around the tree and gravel as a subsurface rather than compacted soil or other types of materials. He believes planting the tree at least 2 feet away from the sidewalk is beneficial, alongside planting the tree away from the curb, or elevating the sidewalk around the plantings to give tree roots a place to grow. If the space/lot permits, Dr. Gilman believes planting trees in groups is superior to a lone specimen; trees have been observed to work together to help improve surviving the numerous challenges in an urban environment.

It can be odd walking down the street and noticing the trunk of a single palm tree and an evergreen tree shoved into a tree grate. It seems a better idea to plant a natural buffer of spiky-looking plants to help encourage pedestrians to walk around rather than over the space. Consider working deterrents like Dietes 'NoLa' (Katrina™ African Iris) or Dianella 'DR5000' (Little Rev Flax Lily). 7th Street in Downtown Los Angeles on 7th Street is ripe for such a display of plants and trees living harmoniously together. The streetscape already offers a wide sidewalk, with exposed brickwork that could be quickly refilled with trees and shrubs. More could be done to create a beautiful, urban enriching botanical buffer, just ripe for pollinators. I suspect that property values would also rise, and such urban flora would encourage more people to traverse on the plant-lined side of the street versus the opposite lined with brightly lit stores. Already I've noticed traveling on the side of the street with Whole Foods because I'm naturally drawn to their lovely basins filled with trees and Dietes 'NoLa' (Katrina™ African Iris), contrasting the bleak parking garage across the street devoid of any plantings.


Why Is This Islamist Group Still Legal In The USA?
Articles Articles Index Why Is This Islamist Group Still Legal In The USA?
Hizb ut-Tahrir was due to hold its second annual conference in Chicago on July 11, before the Marriott Hotel canceled the booking. Isn't it about time they were just banned from the U.S. all together?
They have been banned by most countries in the Middle East. Even not so moderate countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and yes, even Pakistan. They are barred from Germany, all the former Soviet states in Central Asia, Russia and the Netherlands.
They came close to being banned in the UK in August 2005 when then-Prime Minister Tony Blair announced his intentions to ban the group.That was until threats of riots made him drop the idea. I am of course speaking of Hizb ut-Tahrir (the Party of Liberation).
HT has been linked to being responsible for terrorist acts or plots throughout the world including Germany, Uzbekistan, Israel, China, Central Asia and Russia just to name a few. The group which was founded in 1953 by Mohammed Taqiuddin al-Nabhani has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, one of the world's oldest Islamist organizations. Two close associates and mentors to Taqiuddinal-Nabhani's would themselves become senior figures in the Muslim Brotherhood hierarchy.
"Human rights activists had been informing Chicago area hotels of Hizbut-Tahrir America's decision last year to distribute pamphlets (pdf) calling for the "death penalty" for those who seek freedom of religion to leave Islam. At Hizb ut-Tahrir America's July 19, 2009 event in Chicago, they distributed a pamphlet (page 62) that supports killing those individuals who leave Islam as guilty of "treason and a political attack on the Khilafah." The Hizb ut-Tahrir America website promoting this year's conference in Chicago promotes links to the main Hizb ut-Tahrir website, Khilafah.com, where this pamphlet is still distributed online by Hizb ut-Tahrir.
At the December 2009 event at the Lombard community center, Hizb ut-Tahrir America denounced democracy, denounced "the Kafir," and urged Muslim attendees "do not take the Jews and Christians for your allies." HT also blamed U.S. President Obama as part of a plot to take over Muslim-majority nations. Hizb ut-Tahrir rejects democracy because it "is the rule of people, for the people, by the people." (page 24). Hizb ut-Tahrir has called for Muslims to boycott voting.
This year, HT was to hold their second conference on July 11, at the Chicago Marriott Oak Brook hotel. This year's conference was titled "KHILAFAH CONFERENCE USA 2010 – Emerging World Order, Global Campaign for Khilafah (Caliphate). Watch the chilling video for this year's conference here.
The Marriott, who I might add since 9/11, has been the victim of six terrorist strikes mounted by Al Qaeda and pro-Al Qaeda jihadi terroristorganizations has decided not to let Hizbut-Tahrir hold their conference in their hotel. Bravo Marriott for what I can only say given the past of your company and terrorism and HT's past, is nothing more than common sense.
His articles on HT can be found here: Part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4.
So, now for the obvious question… Why in the hell has this group Hizbut-Tahrir not yet been banned from the United States? They openly call for the death of anyone that wants to leave the Islamic faith, they recruit boys to become suicide bombers, they want to overthrow each and every country the world over to instill a "Global Caliphate", they have been linked to acts of terrorism throughout the world and as if that were not enough, they have even been banned in many Arab countries for being to "extreme and radical". But, of course with political correctness being shoved down our throats, we here in America see no problem with this group.
Do I really need to say it yet again? Hello? People… WAKE UP! This is not a group of peace loving people that will hold your hand and sing Kumbaya.
When I wrote "The Ultimate Word Game" back on April 12 and "If Our National Security Operation Doesn't Shock Us Awake, Will Anything?" on June 1, I explained that PC has led our administration to remove words such as "Radical Islam", "Terrorist" and "Islamic extremism", just to name a few. I explained that by doing this it would not only be tying the hands of those in our administration that speak publicly such as WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, but more importantly the people that work behind the scenes – those who help to keep us safe such as the analysts and those in the field of the FBI, the CIA, and Homeland Security.
Now, how at this point can anyone recommend that a group such as Hizb ut-Tahrir be added to the State Departments list of Terror Organizations if we can't even use the word "Terrorist"?
I guess the State Department had better revise the name of the list of "Terrorist Organizations" to "Some really bad people" and maybe then we can add HT to the list.
Why would this be allowed here? I mean, I agree with freedom of speech, but hate speech is against the law.
I know you'll keep us posted on how this goes.
I'm angered that this particular group has not been totally outlawed here! What's up w/our "aware" people? Keep us posted, Gadi, and good work!
As HT is a particularly nasty and anti-semitic group, it is but one of many Islamic groups that should be banned, outlawed and shut down.
This article should be posted as far and as wide as we can possibly get it out there. The work you do here is VITAL to the American people becoming educated and aware of the threats from Islam. One only has to look at the worthless people that obama, the first Muslim POTUS has placed into heading up key intelligence and security agencies, his neutering of our military through stupid ROE, banning the use of words like 'islamic or muslim terrorists or jihadists or jihad."
and really get serious in combating islamic, jihadist TERRORISM at all levels inside our country. This is an enormous task when one has a muslim in the White House who bows down to the pig king of Saudia Arabia. We have our work cut out for us. Thank you for all you do, Gadi!
Let then have their meeting.....Then when they are all in one place MOAB their arses!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The terrorists on our soil contaminate it and HT is just one of the worst. Any organization that trains young people to do terrorism should be totally outlawed. Shows you how great our control is on immigration...we can't tell good from bad from indifferent anymore. Anyone is allowed to enter and do their dastardly deeds to bring down our country.
If the Marriott Hotel Management has the sense to cancel a conference of Radical Islamist then the Government of the United States should have the same sense. If the Islamist could have a conference in the U.S. then would not this open other conferences to the Mexican Mafia,the Drug cartels,the Drug runners and the Gun runners. They are in the same category.The Marriott Hotel that canceled this Islamist conference should be dedicated by the U.S. Government as heroes. They were brave enough to do what our Government will not do. That is Notice and call the Radicals and Terrorists for what they are. Enemies of the United States and will do us in by any means possible. Being friends does not even enter this equation.

Most U.S. Smartphone Users Download Zero Apps Each Month
There are thousands and thousands of apps for any OS made for mobile devices. Download numbers are impressive, but we tend to overstate the enthusiasm people have for these software pieces.
The first app store was launched by Apple in 2008. In June, the company announced that more than 75 billion apps have been downloaded at the moment. Moreover, the next month was Apple Store's best month in history in terms of revenue, Quartz notes. So finding out that most smartphone users download zero apps per month is surprising.
Comscore released a report shedding more light onto app downloading and usage among U.S mobile users. The results are based on data from the whole second quarter of 2014 and involved only users of 18+ years old. The most intriguing result is that almost two thirds of smartphone users do not download any app during. Eight percent of the surveyed users downloaded one app per month and almost 9 percent – 2 apps. Percentages drop further on.
The results clearly convey that app stores and app developers thrive due to a minority of app enthusiasts. The top 7 percent of users download half of all the apps from app stores during one month.
The most used app by U.S. smartphone owners (you know which one) intends to monetize user data in every possible way.
Most smartphone users download zero apps but the rest counterbalance
According to Comscore, users spend 52 percent of their time with digital media, a consistent, albeit non-dramatic, increase from around 40 percent in 2013. Almost every smartphone owner uses apps, but many have clear preferences. A "staggering 42% of all app time spent on smartphones occurs on the individual's single most used app," comScore reports. About 57 percent of the surveyed smartphone owners used apps daily.
"While the meteoric growth of apps transpired quickly, this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise," comScore said. "After all, apps are the fuel that is driving mobile's growth and where most of the devices' utility comes from," the report adds according to PCmag.
There are 83.8 million Android users in the U.S. and only 67.4 million who use Apple smartphones. As expected, Apple users are wealthier on average than Android users.
Most smartphone users download zero apps probably because they are content with the stock apps. Looking at the most used apps, we can see that smartphone users took their desktop preferences to their mobiles. The mobile Facebook app was used by 115.4 million unique visitors, clearly ahead of the Youtube, accessed by 83.4 million users, followed closely by Google Play, Google Search and Pandora Radio.

The Borough of Highland Park Council passed Ordinance No. 19-1980, "Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance," on Tuesday, February 19, 2019. The ordinance will go into effect in two phases.
Establishments with at least 1,000 square feet of retail space are required to follow the rules outlined below. Merchants with smaller retail spaces are still highly encouraged to participate in eliminating single-use plastic bags in the Borough by purchasing compliant paper bags and encouraging shoppers to bring their own bags.
Goes into effect May 1, 2019 - 60 days after the ordinance became effective.
Merchant is required to charge a $0.10 fee on all single-use plastic bags.
Fee must be itemized on receipts.
Merchant will keep the fees they collect to cover costs incurred by this program.
Merchant may offer compliant paper bags at no cost to the customers during Phase One.
Compliant paper bags must be 100% recyclable.
Goes into effect on November 1, 2019 - six months after Phase One.
Merchants are banned from distributing single-use plastic bags, including restaurants with take-out delivery items.
Merchants may offer compliant paper bags but must charge a $0.10 fee per bag and continue to itemize the fee on receipts.
Customers who are recipients of local, county or federal welfare assistance are exempt from paying any fee on bags offered at the point of sale.
Exempt uses of single-use plastic bags include those used to contain meat, fish, bulk produce, bakery goods and unwrapped prepared foods. The use of plastic bags to protect newspapers and laundry and/or dry cleaning are also permissible.
The Borough will assist retail establishments in implementing this ordinance with minimal disruption of business and provide alternative supplier recommendations of compliant and reusable bags.
The Borough will provide retailers with a flyer to display for customers explaining why they are being charged for plastic carry-out bags. We have also come up with a list of customer FAQ's your cashiers may receive and recommended answers to those questions.
Suppliers on this list sell compliant paper checkout bags that meet requirements set by Highland Park's Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance. You are NOT required to use one of these vendors but must ensure any compliant paper checkout bags you supply are 100% recyclable.
You can also approach your current bag supplier and ask them if they also sell paper bags that are 100% recyclable.
This list of suppliers does not imply the Borough of Highland Park endorses these suppliers, nor the quality of their products. This list is provided as a courtesy, for informational purposes only, and may not be a complete list of suppliers. It is the responsibility of stores subject to the ordinance to verify the qualifications and compliance of each type of bag prior to purchase from the supplier. The Borough of Highland Park is not responsible for any expenses that may be associated with using this list.
1. Why are plastic bags a problem?
2. Which bags are banned?
3. What bags are allowed?


Awesome product. Great service. Recommend to everyone.
Eric and his team are true professionals! You won't go wrong with this amazing technology!
So helpful to show out of town buyers! This is such a helpful service!
Eric and his team have found an amazing product for not just the sales market but also for rental properties here in Charleston! We are starting to use 3D Nation for our rental homes here at The Charleston Property Company and our owners absolutely love them. They are done efficiently and professionally. Thank you!
I hired 3D Nation to produce a Virtual Showcase Tour on a recent listing and it went under contract within 7 days. The buyer walked the property via the virtual tour and had his agent to confirm in person. Contract ratified, deal in the bag. Not a doubt in my mind that the 3D Virtual Showcase Tour was the perfect compliment to my client's property inspiring the buyer with confidence to submit an offer above listing price without actually walking the property in person. I highly recommend this attention-grabbing technology to real estate agents desiring to provide above average service to their listing clients. 3D Nation gets a Milky Way Galaxy of Stars!
First time using a 3D tour and won't be the last. My client was in awe when I showed them. Did it on a high end, very unique unit for Charleston and have had a few people come out of the works to take a look at it because photos did not do the place justice like this tour. Annie and the whole team I would highly recommend!!!
Whatever your requirement, Bark will help you find local companies like Charleston Real Estate Media.

Winning elections
by Dr. Jun Ynares
THE VIEW FROM RIZAL
Dr. Jun Ynares
"How does it feel to win an election?"
That was the question a number of friends were asking me this past week. They seem to have been watching the conduct of the presidential elections in the United States. They must have been contaminated by the excitement of that event and wanted to know how it feels to emerge with more votes that one's opponent in the aftermath of an election.
Last week, American voters came out in record numbers to elect the next United States president. Amid controversies, accusations of irregularities, counter-accusations, and threats of legal suits, they made sure that the democratic process of selecting their country's highest official – supposed to be the most powerful person on earth – worked to their best interest.
Before I share my answer to the questions asked me last week, I would like to first extend my congratulations to the American people for ensuring the triumph of democracy in their country during this time when the world is facing a deadly pandemic.
American media have described the 2020 US polls as "historic" and "unprecedented" in terms of voter turnout. It also appears to have been one of the most divisive and, at times, heated in recent US elections. As we go to press, no winner had been declared, and the legal team of the incumbent White House occupant has vowed to go to court to question the results of voting in a number of states.
Now, back to my friends' question: How does it feel to win an election?
Here's a give-it-to-you-straight answer to that question.
After a candidate is declared a winner, he enters a state of ecstatic joy.
That would last for, maybe, an hour.
Then, reality hits home. The ecstatic joy vanishes and is replaced by fatigue, anxiety, and a feeling of being overwhelmed by the magnitude of the job and the responsibility that lies ahead.
There's a tendency among those who have not had the experience of occupying an elective post to romanticize the idea of "political power."
That idea might seem to them as the "ability to control others" or to "do and get whatever I want."
That idea is farthest from the truth.
The fact is an elective official's "power" is oftentimes too little, too small, too limited, compared to what he or she is expected to be able to do for his or her constituents.
The same is true as far as financial resources are concerned. The budget of a local government is never enough to meet the requirements of development and disaster response.
Here's another fact: Particularly at the local government level, constituents do collect on candidates' promises. They tend to remember what candidates' have said the campaign trail, particularly the list of items that are supposed to give them better lives.
The problem is there are people who usually want to collect more than they have been promised. In many instances, some of the constituents of local officials comprise what is called "the unpleasable sector." Their expectations and demands keep rising. At some point, the expectations and demands can no longer be met by the poor, hapless local officials.
The power and resources available to the elected official just are not enough.
The unpleasable ones eventually become dedicated bashers.
The fact is, campaigning for an elective position is not an act of asking the people to give you power.
It is asking them for the privilege to be the chief community servant.
As "servant," the local community leader is expected to put himself or herself last.
It is always the interest of the community first.
This may sound like a fancy political concept.
Not at all. When one wins an election, that really is the job waiting for him.
The people will come first. Rest, family, me-time, hobbies and passion – all these will have to take a backseat as long as the election winner is in office. The electorate owns him.
The election winner cannot blame them for the burden that is put on his shoulders.
After all, he asked for the job.
Is there a reward?
There is no financial reward, unless the election winner had prior motives of plundering his community coffers.
There are not too many "thank you" to expect from constituents. Even when the elected official does well, in the mind of constituents, the excellent performance is just "part of the job".
The reward comes from within the chief community servant. It is the understanding and realization that, despite the hardship and challenges, one is able to help transform a community and the lives of the people who are part of it.
There is a joke which goes, "If you hate someone, tell that person to run for public office."
I would add: "And make sure that person wins."
Don't get me wrong. The fact remains that the opportunity given to an elections winner to serve others is reward enough.

In DPP v Aston Carpets and Flooring Limited and Brendan Smith  IECA 194, Court of Appeal, 20 June 2018 (Mahon J, Birmingham J, Edwards J) the DPP applied to the Court of Appeal for a review of the defendants' sentences on the basis that they were unduly lenient.
The defendants were charged with engaging in and implementing an anti-competitive agreement contrary to Sections 4(1), 6(1), 8(1) and 8(6) of the Competition Act 2002. Mr Smith was also charged with attempting to impede a prosecution contrary to Sections 7(2) and 7(4) of the Criminal Law Act 1997. The defendants entered pleas of guilty some months before their trial and they were sentenced on 31 May 2017 at the Central Criminal Court. Aston Carpets and Flooring Ltd was fined €10,000, and Mr Smith was fined €7,500 in respect of the competition offence. Mr Smith was also sentenced to three months imprisonment suspended for two years, in respect the impeding a prosecution offence. Mr Smith was also disqualified from acting as a company director for a period of five years.
Between 3 July 2012 and 30 April 2013, Mr Smith, acting as a director and manager of Aston Carpets, engaged in an anti-competitive agreement with Mr David Radburn, the operator of another flooring company, Carpet Centre (Contract) Limited. Over a two year period the Aston Carpets and Carpet Centre shared tendering information with each other in relation to sixteen separate, open market tenders for carpeting contracts. They agreed in advance which of the two companies would be given commercial advantage in relation to each particular tender and then ensured that the nominated company would tender a lower price for the work.
The practice ended on 30 April 2013 when the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, assisted by gardaí raided the offices of both companies. Mr Smith, in an effort to impede the investigation and prosecution sought to persuade Mr Radburn to delete e-mails. Mr Radburn, was granted immunity by the Commission in return for his co-operation in the investigation.
The Court of Appeal noted that Aston Carpets was, for all practical purposes, controlled by Mr Smith at the time the offences were committed. While Mr Smith did not obtain a direct personal financial gain from the anti-competitive arrangements, there was clearly an element of indirect gain for him in that he was in receipt of an income from Aston Carpets and he benefited from the company's prosperity. Mr Smith left Aston Carpets in 2014 and the Court noted that the company now faced having to pay a substantial fine in circumstances where its current owners and shareholders were in no way responsible for the criminal conduct in question.
The Court was satisfied that the fine of €10,000 imposed on Aston Carpets was appropriate and within the discretion available to the sentencing judge. Accordingly, it dismissed the undue leniency application in respect of Aston Carpets.
In relation to Mr Smith, the Court was satisfied that the fine of €7,500 imposed on him was not just lenient but was unduly lenient. Mr Smith was the person with overall responsibility for the criminal behaviour in question in that he orchestrated it, and indirectly stood to benefit from it. The Court was of the view that the fine should have reflected more closely the actual financial gain arising from the criminal conduct which was in the region of €31,000. The Court was also of the view that, save in exceptional circumstances, a fine should be for a sum greater than the financial gain so that it satisfies the requirement that it is punitive and acts as a deterrent. The Court therefore imposed a fine of €45,000 on Mr Smith.
The Court was satisfied that the suspended prison sentence imposed on Mr Smith in respect of attempting to impede an investigation was reasonable, proportionate, and appropriate. It also upheld the disqualification of Mr Smith as a company director.
